Just weeks after embarking on an anti-vaxxer rant on Instagram, Sam Frost returned to work on Home and Away on Tuesday.
The criticism caused Sam, 32, to delete her Instagram account shortly after, yet she was all smiles when filming scenes on Sydney’s Palm Beach.
The former Bachelorette was joined on the beach by her co-stars Nicholas Cartwright and Lynne McGranger, as well as staff from the long-running drama.
Sam accessorised with a pink and white pinstripe wrap mini-dress, white shoes, and a crochet purse.
Her long blonde hair was fashioned in loose waves, and she wore pendant earrings as an accessory.
As she recorded a love moment with Nicholas, 33, Sam wore a black puffer jacket to keep warm in between shoots.
Between shots, the two had a passionate kiss and appeared to have established a strong bond, laughing and holding each other.
Nicholas was clothed in a police uniform, but between takes, he removed his shirt to show off his strong arms.
He wrapped Sam in a bear hug at one point, while she smiled and laid a palm against his chest.
Lynne, 68, was present on set, and the two women were chatting in between scenes for the Channel Seven show.
The seasoned actress donned a khaki green pair of khaki green trousers with a white floral wrap blouse.
She also wore a pair of high-heeled nude-colored shoes and stood reading while being covered by an umbrella by a crew member.
Sam mingled with crew members and stepped into a waiting white vehicle after finishing her scenes.
Sam’s Instagram account was removed earlier this month, soon after she revealed in a tearful video that she was unvaccinated and that her mental health had suffered as a consequence of others”judging’ her.
Since 2017, the actress, who has played nurse Jasmine Delaney on Home and Away, has advocated for a more accepting attitude among unvaccinated Australians.
‘I was extremely apprehensive about filming a video or even speaking up about this type of issue,’ she said in the video, ‘but I feel like the world is coming to a place now where there’s a lot of division.’
‘There’s a lot of harsh judgement and views being tossed about a lot, and it’s definitely affecting my mental health, and I know people around me are hurting, especially if they don’t want to be vaccinated for whatever reason.’
‘There are many various reasons why individuals do not get vaccinated, and it may be because to their medical history, their fears, their family history, or religious beliefs.’
